Samantha Krause was born and raised in the Badger State, in the vicinity of the small, north central, Wisconsin city of Wausau. The city is still surrounded by farms, fields, and forests and is the home to all kinds of legends, cryptids, UFO sightings, and haunted locations.

She is also the girlfriend of Talking Weird's Dean Bertram, and is a producer on a number of Dean's film projects.

Sam visits with the show to chat about MidWest WeirdFest and A Night of Horror International Film Festivals: the two festivals that Dean runs in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, at the Micon Downtown cinema. This year, from next Thursday, March 5, to Sunday, March 8.

The festivals run concurrently, with one screen each, at the Micon twinplex.
